About – Brompton CHDO

Our History

For decades, Brompton Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDO) has operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the single mission to develop first-class community housing for low-income families in Texas. We are advised by a Board of Directors with direct housing experience — one-third of which is reserved for elected residents.

Our story begins with Houston Interfaith Housing, one of the first affordable housing organizations in Texas, founded in 1966 with the goal of improving communities and enhancing lives. As the need for housing development grew, Brompton was formed in 1999.

Named after our first community in Houston, Brompton Square, our organization has a long history of collaboration and community advancement. What began with one property has grown to the development of nine communities that support the lives of thousands of residents throughout the Gulf Coast, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, McKinney and more.

Our Mission

To develop high-quality community housing enhanced by standards and programs that empower low-income families to live better lives.

What We Do

Development

Throughout North and Central Texas, Brompton CHDO works to develop communities that exceed the norm, determining an ideal location and acquiring land, obtaining financing, securing a contractor and overseeing the progress of each property to ensure it meets our high standards.

Personal Development for Residents

In addition to creating housing that reflects market-value properties and offers valuable amenities, we partner with third-party service providers, management organizations and more once development is complete to continue fulfilling our mission of building communities that support and uplift residents. This, in turn, results in residents that positively impact their neighborhood, workplaces and families.

Consulting

Brompton offers consulting services to companies searching for expertise and specialized knowledge for managing assets, strategic goals and acquisitions.

Affordable Housing Facts

A Harvard study cited by the Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers states that nearly half of Texas renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than one-third of their household income on housing costs. With housing costs rising much faster than income rates, this number is growing and includes people like our teachers, police officers, paramedics, senior citizens and more.

The Texas housing spectrum includes multiple levels, ranging from emergency shelters all the way to market home ownership. Affordable housing, sometimes called attainable or workforce housing, represents individuals earning between 30-80% of an area’s median family income (AMFI) and provides a stepping-off point for cost-burdened families and individuals. Community resources and supportive services help improve quality of life and increase opportunities for health and wellness, education and career advancement, financial stability and more.
